All that’s great about REL, in a compact cabinet – the REL T/5x is the ultimate mini-subwoofer.
Compact yet powerful – perfect for smaller rooms
With its compact dimensions and smooth, rounded styling, the REL T/5x is one of the most stylish yet least obtrusive subwoofers in its class. Small enough to fit behind and to the side of furniture, the T/5x is ideal for tight spaces and discreet installations. Power it up, however, and the powerful 125 watt amp and 8 inch sub will leave you in no doubt that this is a true REL, through and through.
Punchy bass
Using a base-mounted, 8 inch woofer, the T/5x uses the floor to spread bass all around your room. This not only gives you real punch at lower frequencies, but also the feeling of the bass being all around you – just like with REL’s larger subwoofers.
High current 125 watt amplifier for vice-like grip
Keeping the bass cone under tight control is REL's tried and tested 125 watt Class A/B amplifier. Unlike other active subwoofers that use digital amplifiers, REL have stuck to the more traditional Class A/B transistor design. Although more expensive to produce, the upside is class-leading attack and control. The bass starts and stops exactly when it should, with superb agility and no 'overhang' to its response.
Separate levels pre-set for your hi-fi and home cinema
If you use your subwoofer for both home cinema and hi-fi, the REL T/5x is ideal. Traditionally, the problem with using a sub with both home cinema and music systems is the difference in presence required. Whereas films often require the sub to be turned up for the greatest thrills, music demands a more subtle approach. With the REL T/5x you get separate level controls for stereo and LFE .1 surround. This means you get the ideal levels for both hi-fi and AV, without the need to constantly change the settings.
Wireless capable*
Add the optional REL Arrow system and make this REL wireless. The REL Arrow system uses a zero compression, wireless connection for the ultimate balance of sound quality and convenience. Just like the T-Series subs, the Arrow transmitter features dedicated inputs for hi-fi and home cinema.
High quality finish
With REL's legendary build quality and finish, the T/5x has to be one of the most attractive-looking subwoofers in its class. Featuring a deep, 5-layer piano gloss finish and logoed aluminium feet, this is one subwoofer you'll be proud to have on show.
Enjoy the power of REL, without losing floor space to a monster sub, with the REL T/5x.
*Wireless operation requires the REL Arrow system, available at additional cost.

A transformation of my HiFi system
I have always been sceptical about soundbars and subwoofers but recently purchased the Sennheiser Ambeo Max soundbar from Richer Sounds in Leeds. This was to enhance watching TV movies and the results were excellent! I believed that the soundbar might replace the Spendor S8 loudspeakers in my HiFi system, if i were to add a subwoofer that was musical friendly so after some investigation i booked a demo at Richer in Leeds to see how the REL T5x performed. I decided to purchase along with some cable upgrades and all is now installed. I have now installed everything and listened to a couple of hours of music and have concluded that the subwoofer and soundbar whilst very good at doing the movies the combination would not be a replacement for my main speakers! What i didn't expect was to be absolutely amazed at how the subwoofer has enhanced my Hi-Fi system!! I thought my system was already great but using the Speakon cable form my main speaker terminals to the sub has added another dimension to the sound, not only in the deep and defined base notes but also in the rest of the mid-range notes. I have spent a couple of hours playing CD as well as Hi-Res music files with and without the sub and find myself absorbed in this new sound! My wife who normally finds it hard to distinguish between my system upgrades agreed that this was a distinct improvement so enough said!!

REL T5x (Black)
A very small and discrete subwoofer with a very musical contribution to low frequencies. Once "dialled in" it has made our Mission 753 (I think!) speakers sound complete - with a bass punch that appears to come from the speakers themselves.

Fantastic sub for small-med sized room.
I replaced my previous sub which was more HT oriented and have been amazed at how much faster and more musical the Tx5 is with 2 channel stereo. It is much more textured in the bass and opens up the full range of music. I also use it in my 5.1 surround system where the bass definition adds clarity to the surround affect without ever being boomy or muddy.

Old speakers given a new lease of life
My old stand mounted Arcam speakers felt a little bass light unless you drove them hard, was tempted to upgrade the speakers but instead decided to try a sub. Once dialled in (connected via high level input) you can’t tell sub is there,.. instead thinking the speakers are producing the bass. And it really fills the room ! Probably the best upgrade I’ve ever made. An initial hum was improved by fitting a DC blocker, apparently they all hum a little but mine reduced considerably once it had run in.

Sub that is good for music & movies.
I hadn't considered adding a subwoofer to my dated home cinema set up until i trialed the Sony HT-A9 which i returned to the excellent Richer Sounds staff in Nottingham as, although impressive, didn't sound as good as my 22 year old separates set up. I was impressed with the difference to the sound the Sony subwoofer made so i enquired at the Nottm store about subwoofers and was demonstrated the REL 5Tx and liked the way it had separate settings for 2 channel music and full blown LFE output from a surround signal. It adds weight to the sound without it being noticed until it is switched off. There is the option to connect it wirelessly if you don't fancy running two cables around your listening room for an additional cost, but i managed to position it at home without requiring it. I have a medium sized room and found the T5x adequate.

Incredible Bass - outstanding service!!
Went into the Leeds store with a set budget of £250.00 and the intention of walking out with an active sub to match a set of Wharfedale 505.2's and Tibo amp I own. I talked with Ahmed about my requirement and budget: an in-stock sub, with smooth rounded bass, serious low-end frequency capability and not break the bank. He patiently went through all the options with me and it became clear that I was asking too much for the budget I set in my head. So I asked Ahmed what would I get if I spent a little more and was in stock so I could go home with my new toy. A few options later he showed me the REL T5x. It was love at first sight....amazing piano black mirror finish, compact, wide frequency range and serious power. I had to have it....but it was £400 over my budget.
Now, when I'm in a store with an intention to buy, I often leave due to a hard-sell sales person doing-my-nut-in. However, Ahmed was just extremely helpful, I got the impression he really wanted to help me with something within my budget and guided through all the online in-stock items and other store in-stock items. I liked this a lot, it reassured me and gave me confidence that he wasn't just trying to sell sell sell!. At no point was there any hard-sell, which is a major put-off for me, (I work in sales), he was very informative and tried to find the best deal possible. Long story short - I bought the REL
it was not only because its the Ferrari of subs, but because the service from Ahmed was outstanding. I will be coming back again, purely because he was so helpful. Thanks Ahmed!
The Sub - outstanding - the bass is immediate, no delay, clear yet full, solid and punchy. You really have to hear it to understand how responsive it is.
The included guide - I don't know if any other manufacturers include the same level as detail, but the REL instruction/installation manual included with the sub is a comprehensive guide for various configurations with amps, and, location placement within your room and recommended tuning guide. I followed it step-by-step and quickly found the perfect location and settings (crossover, gain and phase).
If you're wanting something serious, compact, and can stretch to the price....I can't recommend this sub enough...
Very happy customer (unlike my neighbours!)
